| Governor Christine Gregoire's Inaugural Address
Finance
Intends to name a broad-based bipartisan commission to find and propose efficiencies and long-term funding solutions – for early education, K – 12, and our colleges and universities.
Early Learning
Must provide early childhood education and coordinate our early learning programs so that every child starts kindergarten ready to learn
Teacher Compensation
Need to fund cost-of-living pay increases to teachers – something voters overwhelmingly supported.
High School
Design middle and high schools so no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.
Tuition/Fees, Access
-- Need to take down the no-vacancy signs that kept 1,500 students out of college last year.
-- Need to give families some certainty about the cost of college education so they can plan for the future.
